This EP marks the follow-up to 2012's Endless Procession Of Souls, which was named one of the best metal albums of the year by Decibel Magazine, Pitchfork.com, Stereogum.com, among countless others.

Read on for a few reviews of the critically acclaimed Morbid Ascent:

"It's quite remarkable that GRAVE have been releasing music for twenty some odd years and still manage to keep things so visceral, brutal and, pardon the pun, grave." -- METAL SUCKS.net

"...'Morbid Ascent' is a gore-ridden slab of pure death metal that will rip your skull open and spill your gray matter all over the floor." -- METAL INJECTION.net

"GRAVE may as well be eternal at this point. 29 years into a career playing Swedish fucking death metal, they're either undead or just unkillable, showing no signs of diminishing in terms of power or perseverance." -- STEREOGUM.com
